Abstract: The procedure and device for exact measurement of pressure in small clarification plant or in small clarification plant with sequencing batch reactor procedure and other technical plant, comprises a pressure sensor connected to air conducting pipe line and/or components in connection with the pipe line. A process step is introduced on an end of the pipeline and/or the component in an area of water column, whose height is determined. In other end of the pipeline and/or the component, a rapid reverse flow of the air in an arrangement of the procedure and device is reduced or prevented. The procedure and device for exact measurement of pressure in small clarification plant or in small clarification plant with sequencing batch reactor procedure and other technical plant, comprises a pressure sensor connected to air conducting pipe line and/or components in connection with the pipe line. A process step is introduced on an end of the pipeline and/or the component in an area of water column, whose height is determined. In other end of the pipeline and/or the component, a rapid reverse flow of the air in an arrangement of the procedure and device is reduced or prevented through installation of valves or other automatical shutoff device after disengaging the component for the production of compressed air, so that an exact pressure measurement takes place. The pressure measurement is carried out after disengaging the component for the production of compressed air. Through the arrangement, the pressure measurement delivers exact readings for the ascertainment of the height state. The readings are introduced on a drive unit that evaluates the readings and then processes in an arrangement in a program deposited in the control, so that control instructions are released in the arrangement of the procedure or informations are delivered on the treatment step. A connection or opening is mounted, so that the resistance of the aeration membrane is bypassed and the measured pressure corresponds directly to the height of the water column over the discharge point of the air. An insert is implemented in new plant and in existing units. The process like power economization, water quantity balancing, phosphate elimination and nitrogen elimination is controlled and/or supervised. The functional supervision is carried out by components like compressor (4) or magnetic valve. The number, type and arrangement of the pressure sensor are varied corresponding to the measuring task. The number, type and arrangement of the valve or other automatic shutoff device are varied. The valve or other automatic shutoff device is optimized for the execution of the procedure, in which a large density is obtained through the installation of the stronger springs. Other technical optimizations count to the use of material suitable for the task or arrangement. The pressure measurement takes place mechanically and/or electrically by other system.

Abstract: A domestic appliance, such as a cyclonic vacuum cleaner, includes a component such as a separating apparatus, carried by a chassis. A catch is operable to release the component from the chassis. The component and the chassis can move with respect to each other. When the appliance is lifted there is relative movement, against the force of a resilient member, between the component and the chassis, so that the catch occupies a position that inhibits its release. Previous catches that inhibited from release when the appliance is lifted had a drawback in that slight relative movement between the component and the chassis when the appliance was resting on a surface tended to put the catch into the unreleasable position. The resilient member provides resistance to the catch moving into the locked position, thereby ensuring that the catch is inhibited from release only when the appliance is lifted from a surface.

Abstract: A legged robot that runs while repeating a jump cycle including a ground-contact phase from a landing to a takeoff and an aerial phase from a takeoff to a landing is provided. The legged robot adjusts the landing timing after a jump in accordance with a planned timing, thereby attaining a smooth landing. A measuring unit (126) of the legged robot (100) measures an actual aerial phase period in a k-th jump cycle. A subtractor (124) calculates a time difference between a target aerial phase period and the actual aerial phase period in the k-th jump cycle. A target velocity determining unit (128) calculates a target vertical velocity of a center of gravity on a takeoff timing in a (k+1)-th jump cycle so as to eliminate the time difference  T.  Motors (109) in respective joints are controlled so as to realize the calculated target vertical velocity in the (k+1)-th jump cycle. As a result, the time difference  T  generated in the k-th jump cycle in the (k+1)-th jump cycle can be compensated, thereby adjusting the landing timing with the planned landing timing, resulting in the jump motion with smooth landing.
